How to store crabs after buying them: Store them in the refrigerator and raise them at room temperature.

1. Refrigerator storage

Put the tied crabs into the refrigerator compartment, then cover the back of the crab with a wet towel, and adjust the temperature of the refrigerator to 5-7 Spend. Because in an environment of five to seven degrees, crabs will enter a dormant state, and freshly fished crabs can be stored for about a week using this method.

2. Feeding at room temperature

First, you need to untie the crabs and put them in a 30-40 cm high plastic bucket. Be careful not to stack the crabs together. Then add clean water to the bucket. The height of the water should be half of the bucket. The amount of water should not submerge all the crabs. If the water is too deep, the crabs will lack oxygen and suffocate. The bucket does not need to be covered with a lid, but the water must be changed in time every day.

Tips for handling crabs

1. First pour a small amount of white wine into the bucket where the crabs are placed to remove the fishy smell, just an appropriate amount.

2. When the crabs are slightly unconscious, slap them hard, preferably with the back of a spatula, until they are knocked unconscious.

3. Quickly grab its back with your hands and lift the crab to a position that is level with the chin. This position has the best viewing angle.

4. Put down the spatula temporarily, pick up the brush and brush towards the flat crab belly.

5. Brush every corner of the crab in all directions without missing anything.

6. After checking that there is no silt, throw it into another bucket and rinse them with clean water.
